Besses United Reformed Church

Besses United Reformed Church is designated a Grade II building by Historic England.

His design allowed for a chapel capable of holding 823 people, ancillary buildings such as the vestry, and a schoolroom on the upper storey.

[2] £1000 was provided by the Lancashire Congregational Union, although it is uncertain whether that sum was included in the amount raised or was additional to it.

Services had been held since 1863 and until 1866 the congregation was closely associated with Stand Independent Chapel, whose minister, Alexander Anderson, provided pastoral care.

Dated 1865 in head of gable front, which has stone plate-tracery rose window under 2 centred arch.
